The Rockets (16-23) built up leads of 3-0 and later 5-2 at the end of the fifth, but the Golden Grizzlies (11-30) scored five runs across the sixth and seventh innings to take a 7-5 lead, which they would hold for good. Toledo had the tying run on base or at the plate in each of the final three innings, but could not capitalize on the late opportunities
